Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de réaliser à partir d'une seule cellule un enregistrement selon la technique patch-clamp. On commence par établir un micro-canal admettant un écoulement axial du liquide. Dans ce micro-canal, on ménage au moins un orifice permettant un accès radial depuis l'extérieur du micro-canal (air) vers l'intérieur du micro-canal (liquide), le liquide formant à l'intérieur du micro-canal au niveau de l'orifice un ménisque constituant une interface air-liquide. Avec une pipette pour procédé patch-clamp dont la pointe, capable de passer dans l'orifice d'accès, permet de former entre la pointe et la cellule une fermeture électrique à haute résistance, c'est-à-dire giga-ohmique, on laisse passer axialement dans la longueur du micro-canal le liquide portant la cellule, ce qui amène la cellule jusqu'à l'orifice d'accès. Après avoir déplacé la pointe de pipette radialement par rapport au micro-canal jusqu'à toucher l'interface air-liquide dans l'orifice d'accès, on applique au patch-clamp une force d'aspiration de façon à attirer sur la pointe la cellule pour former une fermeture. Il ne reste plus qu'à réaliser l'enregistrement en patch-clamp. L'invention concerne également un appareil pour mettre en oeuvre ce procédé.

Inventor: DE NORA VITTORIO
IPC: C25C3/12
Filed: 2002-04-10
Abstract: An anode of a cell for the electrowinning of aluminium has a nickel-iron alloy outer portion which during use is covered with an integral iron-based oxide surface layer. The nickel-iron alloy outer portion comprises one or more rare earth metals that are substantially insoluble in nickel and iron. These rare earth metals are present in the outer portion in an amount which provides during use controlled diffusion of iron from the outer portion to the integral iron-based oxide surface layer. This controlled diffusion of iron is on the one hand sufficiently high to compensate dissolution of iron oxide from the integral iron-based oxide surface layer into the electrolyte thereby avoiding passivation of the anode by oxidation and/or fluorination of nickel of the outer portion which is not protected by iron oxide, and on the other hand sufficiently low to limit the thickness of the integral iron-based oxide surface layer and maintain its coherence and electrolyte imperviousness thereby avoiding internal corrosion of the integral iron-based oxide surface layer by electrolytic dissolution.
